Celebrating 50 years in business BRIAN Creed from B & ZE Creed Painters and Decorators is looking forward to celebrating his 50th year in business in 2022. Brian started his painting apprenticeship in 1961 in Wagga and after completing his training he moved to Wangaratta where he worked on wages. A few years later, Brian decided it was time to branch out and work for himself. He sub contracted to large builders and started to employ his own workers, employing between six and eight men full time for many years. Covering a large area which stretched from Albury to Seymour, Brian’s son (Brian L Creed) also joined the firm and once he had completed his apprenticeship, Brian encouraged him to do as he had and work for himself. Brian’s professional nature and years of experience have seen clients return to him during their renovations, revamps and new property works, knowing he will not only do a good job, but is reliable and trustworthy. In recent times, Brian has concentrated more on maintenance work at motels, for real estate agents and the council alongside private jobs for new and loyal clients and employs two full time and two casual workers. If you need a painting job completed by a qualified, competent and friendly local, call Brian today and ask him to provide you with a quote.

AUTUMN | 2022
Autumn in the garden AUTUMN is arguably the loveliest season in the garden. The heat of summer is over, we have had some rain to revive parched gardens and lawns, and the evenings and early mornings have a lovely coolness about them. It’s enough to make you feel inspired to get back out into the garden and enjoy the change in season. Jobs that are timely to do now are; hand weeding gardens and lawns - if hand weeding is too big a job, consider a chemical herbicide (be sure to follow safety recommendations), boiling water or household vinegar are also effective in some situations. Once weeds are removed, top up any mulch that is needed in garden beds and feed lawns - sow lawn seed or plant runners in any bare patches to prevent weeds establishing again. Pull out end of season vegies from vegetable gardens, and freshen up the soil with organic matter - compost or aged cow manure are ideal. Vegies to plant now are Asian greens, broad beans, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, carrots, garlic, kale, leeks, salad greens, and silver beet. Then mulch with pea straw to keep weeds at bay, and to add more organic matter to the soil as it breaks down. Autumn is also one of the most spectacular times of year for colour
in the garden. Between changing leaf colours and gorgeous flowering plants, there are so many options for the garden. Some of the best autumn colouring trees are Japanese maples - check with your local nursery about whether there is one that will suit your garden, as they can be a bit finicky. Canadian maples are just as spectacular and are hardier to grow. Ornamental pears really come into their own in autumn with some beautiful leaf colourings - and they are one of the easiest trees to grow in our region. Autumn flowering plants include some interesting natives such as banksias, correas, croweas, grevilleas and philothecas - or wax flowers. These autumn beauties are important for the birds and, especially, bees who have had a challenging time through the summer. Now is also a great time to plant some cool weather annuals such as dianthus, lobelia, pansies, primulas, poppies, snapdragons and stock don’t forget to plant spring flowering bulbs now for displays of daffodil, hyacinth, iris, and tulips from late August through to October. The most important job for autumn though, is to get outside and notice the small wonders in your garden there are many to be found if we take the time to look.
